I’m simplest politician who doesn’t steal money – Amaechi
Former aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, has described himself as a simple politician who doesn’t steal money.
Amaechi, in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, said transparency is not an easy thing when talking about corruption.
He said: “I’m the simplest politician you can meet in Nigeria. When they meet me and see how simple and ordinary I am, it sweeps them off their feet.
“When I say I won’t steal money, 80% of the time I’m serious. Is it easy to swear to God and say in your life you won’t steal?
“Transparency is not an easy thing in terms of corruption. Have you really gone to take people’s money, no.
“Most of the things you have, you really have to say that the office helped you to influence it, so there are a lot of loans some of us took, if it weren’t the government they wouldn’t give you.”
